A Frame Sandwich stands - hold the mayo please

A frame sandwich board

A frame sandwich board

Recently we did some reusable A frame sandwich boards that the customer loved. They liked them so much they ordered 3 more in addition to the 10 they originally ordered. These are one example of several that are available in different sizes that all share the ability to easily change out the graphics when you’re ready for a new message.

No tools are needed, the stand is well built from durable plastic, stable, and stackable. The stand in the picture is in the middle of the available sizes. The prints can be done on durable PVC, or inexpensive corrugated plastic. Both solutions will hold up outdoors in the sun and rain.

Setup the artwork as a 22″w x 28″h document. Expect 1/2″ at the top and bottom to “bleed” into the stand and not be visible.

Aluminum snap frame stand

A variation on this stand is an all aluminum option with edges that snap into place to hold the graphic. This stand sits taller and isn’t quite as stable as the version above. But it is a cleaner, more stylish choice. It works indoors or out, but may be best suited to indoor or low wind locations.

Here is the PDF template for art preparation.

Dry Erase Laminate

Adding dry erase laminate creates a clever solution for event, training, presentation, and directional graphics. Very often it is applied over foamcore, gatorfoam, or PVC prints that are done through our direct print system. We can also apply this laminate to poster or adhesive back vinyl prints. This allows you something that can be rolled up and taken with you wherever you go with the poster, or applied to whatever you need with the adhesive back.

Different markers tend to behave a little bit differently. If you ever get any “ghosting” of your marking, just use some alcohol to get the last little bit off and bring it right back to looking like new.

Retractable Banner Stands - indoor and outdoor

Retractable stands come in all shapes, sizes, and quality levels. There are dirt cheap, flimsy stands that barely hold together to high end, expensive, slick stands that are over-built and over-priced. The trick is to find the proper balance. After using a half dozen different sources, we’ve found that balance.

Width sizes for indoor stands include 24″, 36″, 48″, 60″. The graphics can be anywhere from 69″ to 92″ high. We include a travel bag with each stand and can ship to anywhere in the US so you don’t have to travel with your new stand.

These stands are as simple as it gets to setup and break down. The indoor stands telescoping pole hooks into the top bar and fits into the base easily.

The outdoor stands are intentionally small to keep the windage to a minimum and keep them on their feet.
